Anti-Red Measure Passes House;
No Early Action Seen In Jenate
WASHINGTON, May 20-—(AP)—Senate Republican
leaders today promised discussion—but no early action—
on the anti-Communist bili banged through the House by
a 319 to 58 vote. .
Chairman Wiley (R-WIS.) told a reporter there cer
tainly” will be judiciary committee hearings on the meas
ure sponsored by Reps. Mundt (R-SD) and Nixon
(R-CALIF). '
Tt is designed to curb Commun
ist party activities as a “clear and
present danger” to the United
States. i 5
The Mundt-Nixon bill says an
international Comunist move
ment is plotting to set up a dicta
torship in this country through
Moscow-controlled organizations.
It tabs the Communist party here
as on® of such controlled groups.
Wit stiff fines and imprison
ment, the measure makes it illeg
al to try to create a foreign con
trolled dictatorship in this coun
try. '
Senator Taft of Ohio,» who
heads the Republican policy|
Committee, said he thinks the
measure needs “serious stud)”"
before the senate acts on it.
“As T read the bill,” Taft said.‘
“It requires the registration of
any body who is trying to set up
a dictatorship. But that would be!
an admission of what becomes a
crime under the bill. So there
would be no registration: I'm
afraid it would merely drive
Communists underground.”
On the other hand, Senator Fer
guson (R-MICH) a judiciary
committee member, said he
thinks the measuré makes any
subversive activity of Commun
ists a crime. :
Enforcement Needed
“I think it will cope with a
situation we are. facing, if we ac
tually enforce it,” he said. “We
already have laws on this point
but I think we have fallen down
in enforcing them and I'm willing
to take this new step.”
Senator - Kilgore (D-WVA.).
another committee member, said
he doesn’t like the idea of trying
to control a man’s thinking by
legislation,
“I think that’s getting us into
the field of gestapo methods,”
Killgore added.
Senator Dworshak (R-IDAHO)
said he is inclined to agree with
Gov. Thomas E. Dewey of New
York that “you can’t legislate a
philosophy out of business.”
Dewey contended in a radio
debate this week = that the bill
would not outlaw the Communist
party. Harold E, Stassen said, in
effect, that it would.
Senator Wherry of Nebraska,
acting Republican leader, predict
ed the Senate will pass a bill
similar t{o the House-Approved
Measure. But he said there are
‘@ lot of serious constitutional
questions involved.”

NEW SOUTHERN STRATEGY BEING
MAPPED FOR CIVIL RIGHTS FEUD
WASHINGTON, May 20—(AP)
—Senator Ball (R-Minn) said
today a new Southern strategy
of attack “may end chances of
Senate passage of anti-lynch or
anti-poll tax legislation at this
segsion.” : i
The ‘Senate now is pushing to
finish its work before the politi
cal conventions in Junc and July.
Chairman Taft (R-Ohio) of the
GOP policy committee has pre
dicted passage of an anti-lynch
bill even if means lengthy day
and night sessions to break a
promised filibuster.
But Ball said in a statement
this chance may never come if
the Southerners keep raising
civil rights issues on other leg
islation.
“The tactic is simply for the
Southerners to take the offensive
whereves possible in raising the
issue.” he szid. As a result it may
be “impossitle to find time to
fight through any of the bills
thev really want to stop.”

Savannah Students
Lose Court Battle
For Injunction
SAVANNAH, May 20 (AP)—
Four college sophomores have
lost their plea for a court order
to block their suspensin from the
University of Georgia’s Savan
nah branch. @~
. Judge David S. Atkinson re
fused yesterday to. grant an in
junction against director J. D.
Blair on grounds that the stu
dent-University dispute was not
a matter for court action. -
At the same time he denied a
petition by University officials
asking that the suspended youths
be barred from the campus and
classes.
Judge Atkinson held that his
court "had no jurisdiction until
the students had exhausted every
recourse before the proper col
lege authorities. He said the
question of keeping them off the
campus was one for university
officials to settle.
The four students are Charles
Theus, Savannah; Edward L.
Hereford, Atlanta; Howard Isacs,
Long Island, N. Y., and Albert
Kammerer, Brunswick, Ga.
The row had its origin in the
removal of Dr. Glenn W. Sutton
as director of the Savannah
branch several months ago. Dr.
Sutton returned to his teaching
post at the parent University in
Athens and Blair succeeded
him at the school here.
Later, Blair reported a series
of “unauthorized” activities on
the campus and University offi
cials launched an investigation,
Finally four students were sus
pended and four placed on pro
bation.
In arguing for the injunction
last week, the four sophomores
contended that their suspension
was illegal because it had not
been ordered by the school’s
committee on discipline. They

he would offer an amendment
to the seleative servise bill to re
quire the armed services to re
spectthe wishes of draftees who
signify in writing that they do
not want toservein mixed white
and nedro outfits.”
The Senate will defeat the Rus
sell amendment. Ball predicted,
“put it will consume time.” And
that, he said, will leave less time
for consideration of major legis.
lation on civil rights.”

OKLAHOMA NEWSPAPER CLAIMS
REAL JESSE JAMES STILL ALIVE
I;AWTON, Okla., May 20 —
(AP) — Jesse James, officially
dead since 1882, still has life—
if not ‘in the flesh—at least in
newspaper headlines.
The Lawton Constitution said
vesterday it had “indisputable
proof” that, the famous outlaw of
the era following the Civil war
is still alive and is in Lawton.
The newspaper said it had af
fidavits sighed by three pérsons
who knew James in his outlaw
days and said they believed the
man in Lawton is the real Jesse
James. 4 '
Mary J. James, 91, Houston,
Toss Ingram, 72, Ringling, Okla.,
and Dan Burns, 68, Rush Springs,
Okla., were listed as the iden
tifiers. 1 '
In St. Joseph, the -site" of
James' official death, the Okla
homa newspaper story was ac
cepted with extreme doubt.
Missouri editors explain that
“Jesse comes:to life_every once
in awhile.”
Constitution reporters said the
man_ believed to be James came
to Lawton about four weeks ago
from Cenierviiie, Tex., where ne
‘was known as Frank Dalton.

’Athenians Alerted
For Counterfeiters
Citizens of Athens were alert
ed today by a letler to Acting
Chief of Police Clarence Roberts
from the Secret Service Division
of the Treasury Dept. in Atlanta,
which stated that a couple had
passed two counterfeit ten dollar
bills in this area.
The notes, intercepted in At
lanta, were of series 1934-¢ made
on the Federal Reserve Bank of
Chicago. They bore serial num
ber G-5926744 C, face plate num-~
ber 399, and back plate number
1197, »
Following are descriptions the
man and woman who passed the
bills. Bank and merchants should
be on the look out for these twq
people, who may stil be operating
in this immediate area.
The man was desecribed as very
nice looking, about 35 years old
five feet, ten inches tall. well
built weighing approximately 160
pounds. He wore a panama hat.
striped trousers, and brown sport
coat.
The woman, described as at
tractive was between 25 and 3§
years old; tall, slender weighing
sheout 140 ‘nonnds, a~d gtanding
five feet. six inches. She wore a
sailor hat with pink flowers in
frert, nink dress, and multi-cal
ored shoes. |
' Reporters said that the man
had been under treatment at a
Dallas, Tex., hospital under the
name of Frank Dalton and' that
pictures were made on his 100th
birthday, Sept. 5, 1947.
Lindsey Whitten, Constitution
reporter, said the Constitution
published a story about a hunt
for the buried ¢Jesse James
treasure” in the Wichita moun
tains.
Then Joe Hunter, a Lawton
resident for several years, re
ceived a letter from the . man
concerning the treasure hunt.
Hunter invited him to visit his
old haunts in the Wichita moun
tains which ‘was once a hide~
out for the James ®oys.
The newspaper story said:
“Officially Jesse James was
killed in 1882 by Bob Ford, a
member of the gang, aithough it
was not fully accepted.
“Actually, it was Charlie Bige
low who met his death at the
hands of Ford.
“It was agreed among the out
law gang that no one would re
veal his Tdentity until all were
past the age of 100. Oid man Jes=

A contingent of about 500
guardsmen moved into the plant
area at 4:15 a m, (CST) with bay
onels fixed. - They clearned the
drea of the plant in accordance
with a court injunction issuec
yvesterday. Tueir first official act
was to drive off at bayonet point
about 50 pickets who haq gath
ered outside the plant’s main
gate.
The pickets retreated slowly
before the steadily advancng
guardsmen and shouted jibes but
offered no resistance. The in
junction allows only five pickets
at each gate anq provides that
other strikers ecannot congregate
within 500 feet of the plant. It
also prohibits use of loud speak.
ers by strike leaders.
- Road blocks were set up on
ell streets leading to the plant.
Half tracks and jeeps patrolled
the area. On Col. Frank Williams’
orders no more than two men
were alowed to move around the
plant area together. Col Williams,
commander of the Guard Units’in
Waterloo, said he expects to have
1,000 guardsmen in Waterlos hy
noon.. He emphasized that the
guard had taken over at the re
quest of Sheriff H. T. Wagner.
The picket killed last night was
William J. Farrel, 40, of Water
loo. A woman striker was wound
ed in the shoulder apparently by
the same bullet which killed Far
rell.
Authorities announced mean
time that the Rath plant would
remain closed ‘“‘at least through
Thursday.”
Union officizls using loud
speakers joined with 60 peace of
ficers in quelling the disorder
which erupted after Farrell was
'felled by a gunshot which police
said cama from the car of a *n.
}striking worker. Pickets had
stopped the car as it *approached

from nearby Dunkerton. = Wood
said that Roberts, father of nine
children, would be charged with

Roberts was in custody atan un
